    Toronto Architecture Studio Lead Description

    About Us

    At HDR, we specialize in architecture, engineering, environmental and construction services. While we are most well-known for adding beauty and structure to communities through high-performance buildings and smart infrastructure, we provide much more than that. We create an unshakable foundation for progress because our multidisciplinary teams also include scientists, economists, builders, analysts and artists. That's why we believe diversity is our greatest strength. HDR is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and an affirmative action employer.

    Watch Our Story:

    We believe that the way we work can add meaning and value to the world. That ideas inspire positive change. That coloring outside the lines can illuminate fresh perspectives. And that small details yield important realizations. Above all, we believe that collaboration is the best way forward.

    Primary Responsibilities

    The Studio Lead's primary role is to successfully lead the Toronto Ontario Studio through a balancing of the dual responsibilities of fostering a collaborative, inclusive and respectful culture while overseeing the business operations of the studio to achieve the best design outcomes and sustainable business performance. In this role the Architecture Studio Lead will work closely with and be supported by many colleagues holding various local, regional, and firm-wide positions.

    The successful candidate would report directly to the Ontario Managing Principal and be responsible for the 70+ Architectural employees located at the Toronto Ontario office as well as coordinating and collaborating with an additional 70+ employees from our Engineering and other various consulting teams who also sit in our Toronto studio.

  • Continue to develop a team of energized professionals who take responsibility for the successful completion of every project.
  • Help foster a design-focused culture within the studio and promote innovation and creativity in architectural solutions.
  • Lead project performance measurement and monitoring.
  • Engage in project management oversight and training.
  • Lead monthly project performance review meetings.
  • Reinforce and grow studio focus on a culture of excellence and a consistent focus on project execution and design.
  • Assume roles, as required, on client projects within your area of expertise and as needed by the firm.
  • Manage our Teams

  • Ensure the office has appropriate staffing resources sufficient for supporting ongoing project requirements.
  • Manage team workplan forecasting and utilization analysis.
  • Lead efforts for Toronto Architecture staff recruiting, retention, and recognition.
  • Regularly review Studio performance with Managing Principal and Senior Leads.
  • Mentor peers and reports as a part of this leadership role.
  • Coordinate and foster worksharing opportunities with other HDR studios.
  • Lead the day-to-day operations of the Toronto Architecture Studio space.
  • Provide support and collaborate with the leadership of the Engineering and other consulting teams located in the Toronto studio space.
  • Meet High Level Objectives

  • Proactively work with the Managing Principal and other office/company leaders as appropriate in the development and implementation of the office's overall strategy.
  • Establish short and long-term studio goals consistent with firm wide objectives.
  • Participate in annual budgeting and monthly income statement development.
  • Contribute to the strength of HDR's capabilities, systems, and procedures through continuous improvement.
